Michael Alzona

Style: Updated traditional, with an Italian influence

Story: As the shop manager and bespoke adviser at Wingtip, Alzona is the purveyor of "all things a man could ever want" - a topic with which the San Diego native is rather familiar. After wearing a uniform in Catholic school until ninth grade, he developed a knack for natty menswear, partly inspired by his dad's three-piece suits and wingtips. Following a marketing stint in the world of action sports (surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding among them), Alzona moved on to advising patrons on the intricacies of, say, a cutaway collar or a barrel cuff.
